Listen to the Radio
[Verse: 1]
Leave the bureau in the snow, catch a train to Uncle Po
Early evening ring around the moon
Slipping by the concierge, by the bikes and up the stairs
Snap the latch and creep into the room
[Chorus]
Throw off your coat, pick up the post
Put a coffee on
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head
Smoke a cigarette
And listen to the radio! (ooh-oo-oo)
Listen to the radio! (ooh-oo-oo)
[Verse: 2]
In the city late tonight, double feature black and white
Bitter tears and Taxi to the Klo
Find a bar, avoid a fight
Show your papers, be polite
Walking home with nowhеre else to go
[Chorus]
You throw off your coat, pick up my notе
Put another coffee on
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head
Smoke another cigarette
And listen to the radio! (ooh-oo-oo)
Listen to the radio! (ooh-oo-oo)
[Instrumental bridge]
[Chorus]
You throw off your coat, pick up my note
Put another coffee on
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head
Smoke another cigarette
Smoke another cigarette...
[Verse: 3]
Atmospherics after dark, noise and voices from the past
Across the dial from Moscow to Cologne
Interference in the night, thousand miles on either side
Stations fading into the unknown...
[Chorus]
So throw off your coat, butter some toast
Put another coffee on
We'll lie down on the bed, lay back our heads
Smoke another cigarette
And listen to the radio! (ooh-oo-oo)
Listen to the radio!
Listen to the radio!
Listen to the radio!
Listen to the radio...
Listen to the radio!
[Fade]
